In the recent decade, open innovation (OI) has attracted much attention within the field
of innovation management research. Now, most of the firms are adopting OI practices
to expedite the performance. However, open-source software projects are facing crucial
challenges such as motivating spillovers (MS), incorporation of external knowledge
(EK), intellectual property (IP) management, and maximization of internal innovation
(II). Additionally, open-source software projects are facing the major issue of financial
constraint (FC) to develop and maintain the OI system. To address this issue, the prime
objective of the current study is to inspect the role of FC during the management of OI
challenges in Pakistan. To accomplish this objective, this study adopted a quantitative
research approach and a cross-sectional research design. Survey questionnaires were
distributed among the managerial employees of open-source software projects via a mail
survey. SMART-PLS 3 (SEM) was utilized to conduct the analysis. The study revealed
that FC is a moderating variable between the maximization of II and OI performance.
FC is one of the limiting factors towards the maximization of II which automatically
decreases the OI performance. Hence, the current study contributed by investigating the
role of FC in OI practices. Therefore, this study is beneficial for open-source software
developers to enhance OI.
